Yeah.

They're still there.

You know, I still believe Shaheen got a lot of cricket left.

Naseem Shah got a lot of cricket left.

We have young, um, kid, Abid Shah, Naseem's younger brothers, the younger one.

So he got some pace, you know, like he can bowl one forty, one forty-five.

But you know, I've seen him in last test match, but he was bowling at one twenty-seven, one thirty, m- maybe because of the condition and stuff like that.

Is there enough incentive to play te- test match cricket for a young Pakistan fast bowler growing up?

Was there anything different that could have been done from the Vipers? Uh, were, were you expecting that?

Yeah, they, they done the same thing, uh, against Lahore in the last game as well, so they bowled 17 over.

We know.

We knew they're gonna bowl, uh, a lot of spin against us.

Uh, we didn't adapt to the condition.

We didn't, uh, utilize, uh, the pitch, uh, as well, you know.

Like, uh, that's why, that's why we end up getting to 122.

So what are your emotions as you sit here this evening at the end o- of the tournament for the Vipers?

It's a pleasure to see you and, uh, well, I suppose the first thing we have to say given you are on site there in the city for the tournament, what are conditions like? Uh, what have you experienced? How dry are the pitches and, and have you noticed any dew at night?

We haven't practiced at night.

You know, we have had a meeting last night.

They're gonna put this dew spray before the first game.

So they said it last normally when we play in subcontinent in Dubai, so they do put the dew spray every single day.

They said this is a slightly different that, that will last us about five, six days.

Well, we will find out, uh, tomorrow night and when the games are going on to see how much dew is there or is there any help from the dew spray.

Is that an option for you to slip him down the order even though he's had success with the Vipers in the past, uh, as an opener?

How has that affected your development as coach?

First of all, thank you very much for having me.

And yes, it's a new role for me at Desert Vipers, but I have done this before for Pakistan cricket as well as Islamabad United.

So yes, a new challenge.

I love challenges.

And yes, you mentioned my development with that era which I played for Pakistan, full of superstars in that team, like two Ws, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, you know, like and all the big names at that time and mentioned Surrey as well, you know, like at that time when I joined Surrey as well in early 2002.

And full of great players, full of international players.

How easy or how difficult, how will you deal with that short turnaround? What will your approach be to, to try and get the team to gel as quickly as possible?
